COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONThe Library IPA is definitely not for everyone. True to the IPA style, it has a dormant, almost overpowering hop bitterness. A three week dry hopping process is used to prepare the ale, as was done centuries ago, when this style of beer first came about.

On tap at Coach’s Bricktown. Mjames said this could be on or off but tonight it was on. Poured orange with a medium white head. Nice grassy hop aroma with a touch of citrus. Grassy hop flavor with a mild bitter finish. If you get a fresh sample through clean taps like me, this beer rocks.

Aroma: smells of sweet, dry hops and carmel malts.
Appearance: nice golden yellow tones
Flavor: large taste of hops, very dry; kind of a weird aftertaste of hops and something else that I can't put my finger on.
Palate: dryness at the back of the tongue and throat with a sweet bite at the front and middle.
Overall: not bad, although my taste isn't for IPAs.

Amber coloured body with a light tan head that tops the beer. Great aroma of fresh hops, malt and citrus. Medium-bodied; Strong hop flavour with a good malt backbone and a great bittering finish. Aftertaste is all about the hops - very bittering and very good. Overall, a great IPA from a brewpub, this one should be tried by all! This beer was the best of the bunch from Coach’s. I sampled this beer from draught at the brewpub in Bricktown, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on 13-December-2005.

I love IPAs and this is certainly an IPA lover’s beer. Its easy on the malt, heavy on the hops and you realize it as soon as it hits your mouth. It finishes quick and smooth and another is always needed.

On tap at the brewsteraunt in Norman. Copper colored with an off white head. Nice lacing and head retention. Has a medium intensity grapefruit aroma. Medium bodied with light carbonation. A bitter hop flavor predominates, with a grainy malt flavor for background effect.
A pretty decent IPA considering the scant 4% abv content. 2003
